Best 4-way joystick for cocktail game? Namco reunion?

I am restoring a cocktail game (new construction multi-cab) and the joysticks are terrible... I am hoping to find a good set of joysticks, but not sure which ones to get.. I was thinking the ones used on the namco reunion games are pretty nice, are they available and if so would you recommend them?

I love the microswitch happs competition sticks, but they are too big for a cocktail IMO and are 8 way..

Thanks for any help.. a place that has the joystick you recommend would be helpful also! :)
 
Good question

Guys i would like to know the exact same thing...( Would love not to get killed on ms pac man so much like on the the leaf switch joysticks....)

SACRILEDGE!!!!!!
Leaf joys are authentic and anything less is a crime :D. You can order a new grommet and leafs to rebuild those sticks. My Ms Pac cocktail was beat to hell and the joysticks flopped around like a fish out of water. After I rebuilt them it was amazing how much better they felt.

To each their own - but I built a multi with cherry switched 4 way joys and dear lord did it feel horrible.

Leafs do have the best feel I must say. Chips4sale has/had sets of nos grommets for wico's on ebay. Good price to.
